Deserts are defined as areas that receive less than 25cm of precipitation per year. They are characterized by high temperatures, low rainfall, and climatic factors such as high pressure systems, cold ocean currents, and mountain ranges that create rain shadows. Plants and animals in deserts have adapted to survive the harsh conditions through mechanisms like storing water, long roots, short lifecycles, burrowing, nocturnal behavior, and hibernation. Camels are an example of a desert-adapted species.

It also covers dry climates such as deserts and steppes.
Biomes are large ecosystems defined by climate, relief, geology, soils, and vegetation. The major biomes include rainforests, deserts, savannahs, grasslands, and tundras. Rainforests are near the equator and contain over half the world's species diversity. Savannahs have wet and dry seasons and are located in parts of Africa, Australia, and South America. Deserts are the hottest and driest areas, with the Sahara being the largest desert.
This document discusses key concepts about weather and climate, including temperature, rainfall, wind, and how they vary by location. It defines weather as short-term atmospheric conditions and climate as long-term weather patterns. Temperature is influenced by factors like latitude, altitude, and daily cycles. Thermometers are used to measure air temperature in degrees Celsius. Formulas are provided to calculate mean, maximum, minimum, and range of daily, monthly, and annual temperatures.

It is a presentation about the
Koppen's climate classification system. It provides an overview of Koppen system.It is an informative and engaging overview of the Koppen climate classification system, providing a useful resource for anyone interested in understanding how climate is classified and how it impacts different regions around the world.
1. Deserts occur in areas where evaporation exceeds precipitation, covering about 30% of the Earth's surface.
2. Deserts are classified based on average annual precipitation, ranging from extremely arid with no rain for 12 months to semi-arid with 250-500 mm of rain.
3. Hot deserts near the Tropics have large daily temperature variations without cloud cover, while cold deserts have mild to warm summers and very cold winters.
El documento describe los diferentes biomas terrestres, incluyendo desiertos, tundra, taiga, bosques templados, bosque mediterráneo, praderas, estepas y sabanas, y selvas. Cada bioma se caracteriza por su clima, tipo de vegetación, suelo y vida animal. El documento explica cómo la vegetación y vida en cada bioma se ha adaptado a las condiciones ambientales únicas de esa región.
Temperate forests are areas with high levels of precipitation and humidity that contain a variety of deciduous trees that shed their leaves in fall and winter. They have cool summers and cold winters, with temperatures ranging from 86°F to -22°F. Temperate forests are located in eastern Asia, western and central North America, and eastern North America. They support a wide variety of plants and animals and have distinct canopy, understory, and forest floor layers. Major threats include timber cutting, acid rain, invasive species, unsustainable forestry practices, and climate change. Conservation efforts include reducing car use, recycling, and choosing sustainable products.
This document discusses air masses and their types. It defines an air mass as a large body of air with similar temperature and humidity that forms in stable source regions. There are two main types of air masses - continental and maritime. Continental air masses originate over landmasses and are usually dry, while maritime air masses originate over large bodies of water and are usually moist. Specific continental air masses include tropical (cT), mid-latitude (cM), and polar (cP). Maritime air masses include tropical (mT), mid-latitude (mM), and polar (mP). Each air mass has distinct characteristics depending on its source region and how it interacts with terrain as it moves across regions.
Weather refers to atmospheric conditions in a specific time and place, while climate describes typical weather in a region over many years. There are five elements of weather: wind, atmospheric conditions, temperature, precipitation, and humidity. Climate is influenced by climatic factors like latitude, altitude, and distance from bodies of water. There are three main climate zones - polar, tropical, and temperate. Climate change due to global warming is raising Earth's temperatures and causing sea levels to rise through melting ice, with potential consequences like drought and species extinction. Proposed solutions include reducing deforestation, pollution, and energy waste.
El documento describe diferentes biomas como desiertos, páramos, sabanas y bosques. Explica que los desiertos reciben poca precipitación pero albergan una gran diversidad de vida. Luego describe varios tipos de desiertos y sus ubicaciones principales. También describe los páramos como ecosistemas de montaña intertropicales con arbustos predominantes, mencionando sus ubicaciones en Sudamérica, Centroamérica y otras regiones. Finalmente, resume brevemente las características de las sabanas y los bosques.
Weather refers to atmospheric conditions over a short period of time, while climate describes average weather patterns over many years. In the Philippines, PAG-ASA monitors and forecasts weather by observing elements like temperature, precipitation, winds, and clouds. Latitude, altitude, topography, and proximity to bodies of water all impact climate by influencing how much solar radiation and moisture an area receives. Different wind systems like the trade winds and polar winds also affect Philippine weather and seasonal climate patterns.
This document describes 12 major climate regions of the world. It provides key characteristics for each climate type, including average temperatures, precipitation levels, geographic locations, and example biomes. The major climate types discussed are tropical humid, tropical wet and dry, arid, semiarid, Mediterranean, marine west coast, humid subtropical, humid continental, subarctic, tundra, ice cap, and highlands.
The temperate desert biome has low and unpredictable rainfall, with strong temperature contrasts between summer and winter. Most precipitation falls in the winter when temperatures are below freezing, and summers are hot and dry. Common plants include cacti, shrubs and grasses adapted to store water. Animals such as snakes, lizards and small mammals obtain water from their food or specialized physiological functions. Human impacts such as off-road vehicles, water depletion and military exercises can damage desert soils and plants, but conservation efforts include restricting vehicle use to trails and improving land and water management.
Climate Extreme (extreme weather or climate event) refers to the occurrence of a value of a weather or climate variable above (or below) a threshold value near the upper (or lower) ends of the range of observed values of the variable. Extreme weather and climate events, interacting with exposed and vulnerable human and natural systems, can lead to disasters.
The document defines and describes the major climate regions of the world. It begins by stating that temperature and precipitation are the defining factors of climate regions and that broad climate definitions help identify weather variations over the course of a year at a given location. It then provides descriptions of 15 different climate types including tropical wet, tropical wet and dry, semiarid, desert, Mediterranean, marine west coast, humid subtropical, humid continental, subarctic, tundra, ice cap, and highlands. For each climate type, it gives 1-2 defining characteristics.
The atmosphere has different layers, including the troposphere where weather occurs. Weather describes current atmospheric conditions like temperature and precipitation. Climate describes average weather conditions over a long period of time for a particular region. The world is divided into climate zones based on heat received from the sun, including hot, temperate, and cold zones with different characteristic climates like rainforests, savannahs, and deserts. Spain has a variety of climates due to its location and terrain, ranging from mild and rainy in northern regions to hot and dry in interior regions.
Biomes are large ecosystems defined by climate, relief, geology, soils, and vegetation. The major biomes include rainforests, deserts, savannahs, grasslands, and tundras. Rainforests are near the equator and contain over half the world's species diversity. Savannahs have wet and dry seasons and are located in parts of Africa, Australia, and South America.
